Library
Due to the increasing availability of digital music, WCAMS no longer maintains a physical library of print music. A few items from WCAMS' prior library collection are currently being held by three individuals, and members may borrow music by contacting them directly.
WCAMS owns a few instruments which may be borrowed by members in good standing.

The viola was donated to WCAMS in 1994.
The viola markings indicate:
Copy of Antonius Stradivarius faciebat Cremona 1713
Made in Western Germany
The Bb and A clarinets are a wood, matched pair of Edgwood from Boosey and Hawkes.
The C clarinet was purchased by WCAMS in December 2004, and refurbished by Backun Instrument Services.
The mallets were purchased in 2025.
This keyboard was purchased in July 2010.
This piano was purchased in March 2019, with the primary purpose of providing the pianists at the summer music camp with a "real" sounding piano to rehearse on, while still being able to move it easily to and from camp, without requiring tuning.
The N1 hybrid piano has a horizontal wooden hammer board, so that it has the same "touch" as a grand piano. The sounds are sampled from an acoustic grand piano. The piano almost feels and sounds like a genuine Steinway concert grand.
The WCAMS N1 piano also comes with a piano bench, and sits on a dolly with locking wheels, for ease of moving.
